Hello IA consultants out there! If you’ve benchmarked/baseline Key report testing, ITACs/ITGCs, please share your thoughts. 1) what was your rationale behind this? 2) how did you convince management and external auditors this is the way to go 3) how many hours per control or key reports was saved? What was the % of total hours saved? 4) how did you ensure your audit fees were not reduced due to the hours saved?

Name the reaction you get when you tell dates you’re a lawyer:

Venting a bit: Are you finding DEI groups at work overrun with allies. Is there also an increase in celebrating said allies? Is it just me?

Most of the groups I'm in (esp. event teams) are being taken over by allies wanting to do what they think should be done to 'celebrate' whatever topic the month is, usually speaking over marginalized coworkers and rarely consulting with them. It seems like the only time this doesn't happen is for gay (usually yt) men or BHM. I'm just feeling so...minimized.

Anyone from DELOITTE or SUTHERLAND?

How realistic is going from newly promoted senior to manager in private? Is this a realistic jump or are most places looking for more experience? I want to get out of public but I’m not sure if I should suck it up until I can snag a risk/IA manager job or try to go do something else now.

Hi! Does any one know if their firm is still hiring entry level/associate positions?

Has anyone taken the CISA with little prep / could you share tips to cram and pass?

So to everyone staying in the newly rebranded DAT, I'm curious what you think our long-term exit ops will looks like. Under RA it was possible to leverage some work in ICRS or non-audit clients as "consulting work" but we're basically losing that bridge as far as I understand. I'd like to still think there's opportunities outside of just IT Audit waiting for me but have my doubts.

Are the exit opportunities better in Internal Audit/Business Process than IT Audit? All I hear is how awful IT Audit is but don’t hear as much complaining from the business side

I was on a call today, with some clients, with regards to some evidence I need, as part of my testing. The client lead I report to, is OOO for a few days, so she was not on the call. And I was the only one from PwC. I’m having meetings with these particular clients only in the context of my current control. One of them had been rude to me on a previous call and was quite passive aggressive on emails to me. But I ignored those instances and kept communications with him to a minimum. Contd..
